Joining the exec-update hype train

C2077 is now in action, welcome to corpo-hell

Wanna shred just after a few hours of gameplay? Get tired of 250h of 'pre-game' waste? doesn't have a stash with ultimate gear? join Dwarven Relams and _bring waste to your foes_

It's nice, it's simple, it's get the job done

whoa, it's much harder than I remember xD

Even more <33333

Note, that even some of the encounters feels like poorly designed, it's just a matter of fact, that Aloy is no match for machine brute force - hit'n'run tactic* is a must in those cases. Also, keep in mind oppenents level - one shots tends to happen
*yeah, I get it, it's no fun

UPD1: on the other hand - the longer I play, the more it feel like ubisoft game with numbers vs numbers and redo stuff for a 1000 times. And holy hell, she just dones't shut up, it's carcinogenic!
UPD2: I just cannot stand that constant mumbling >.< trying to push the story, skipping side quests -_- but while I started with session 5-8 hours long it slowly became 1-1.5 hour and "screw it" for a week
UPD3: dropped. Potential for replay is questionable, if "Aloy shut-up" mod will become available

ONE GAME TO RULE THEM ALL

You only need 2 games on your account: this and ADOM

It's awesome game... if you're watching it at youtube. The plot, the cut scenes, the world, THE T'ILK!

But. It all breaks then you're facing enemies that are supposed to be tough - half of them are pure mechanics and they are good. Another half - camera/lockon ♥♥♥♥♥ you up because ♥♥♥♥ you. Or if you are playing on first difficulty - that makes ALL other enemies except troublesome just meh (even swarming does not mean anything). And you still gets ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up because camera have no HP - there are some issues with enemy design and camera placement which went under the hood because of "overwhelmly positive" (at they still persists in Ragnarok too) reviews.
However higher difficulties make enemies much spongier while drastically rises their dmg, dunno if there are better ways - powerlevel is somewhat broken to my opinion: same River mob but pw7 oneshots you at pw3 through parry - is it good? is it so bad? it's managable to no-damage setup (evade and/or ranged combat) but most of the death will still come because of camera/lockon. And come on ranged Kratos - that's a joke, but kinda meta- gameplay on higher difficulties.
The whole power routine is trapped for my opinion: the begining is easy until pw of the mobs begins to scale up. <new weapon> on locked story part is awesome and then immidiatelly become useless until heavy upgrading. :D Also 8h gate is still in place
Also, VRAM leaks (~5-6h session on 1080p at 3080, somewhat shorter for 4K, ridiculously short for Steam Deck according to discussions). Not and issue for me, but "another but".
Was seriously considering PS5 for Ragnarok before started playthrough

PS: praise the controll change!

Controls versus Player once againe -_-
While DLC offers a great conclusion to the story, several boss designs are just bad (DLC last boss fight is far worse than original "test" boss)

That is how Prototype supposed to be.

Smooth movevement skill goes with about 20-40 minutes practice.

upd: unplayable in current conditions due CDT. Also fast travel CDT to, but this is not the major issue.

still no 144hz option
